Rack Room Shoes

NORTH CANTON, Ohio—While Diebold Electronic Security waits on the close of one deal—its acquisition by Securitas—it has closed another: a 500-location national account deal.

The national integrator will provide intrusion, fire, access and monitoring services as well as its online customer portal, SecureStat, for Rack Room Shoes, a national footwear chain that also owns Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse. Diebold will also provide an enterprise video and access control system for the company’s newly expanded corporate headquarters in Charlotte. Rack Room Shoes made the announcement Dec. 14.

Tony Byerly, EVP, electronic security, Diebold said in a prepared statement: “As a national retailer, Rack Room Shoes needs a security provider that focuses solely on the unique needs of business customers with the resources to deliver monitoring services and the necessary standardization of technology, solutions and processes across the United States."

When the Diebold/Securitas deal is closed, the contract will be transitioned to Securitas. The deal is expected to close early in 2016.
